The promulgation of the Fourteenth Amendment, that was effectively a Bill of Rights, guaranteed in 1866 the new black citizens their political and legal equality. In 1869 the Congress passed the Fifteenth Amendment which stated that citizens' rights were not to be limited by "race, color or previous condition of servitude".
